I forgot about the sandbagging. Good point. Let's say runtime then, if you agree.

I have no issue with it.... WCG will do all of the math for it anyway.

If there are no significant objections, the next step would be to put it all together to present to our captain for his review/approval prior to launching the official thread here and opening up the challenge at WCG.

I think I will add a small PP donation for a lucky draw among the lower 50% of the participating teams, as long as they have a runtime of at least 1 day during the challenge. I will leave it up to their respective captains to decide how to divide the money within their team.
The top 50% will be able to win a small PP donation of mine as well, a slightly bigger one than the aforementioned. Once again, I will leave it up to their respective captains to decide how to divide the money within their team.
I will most likely exclude TPU from this draw, because we are having a prize draw of our own.

I think I will add 11 euro and 7 euro to the prize pot for the top ranks resp. lower ranks draws. If anyone else want to contribute to the "team prizes", let us know.

If you're going to offer any prizes outside of TPU it would probably be best if you took the offer out to the WCG forum where the competing Teams will have a chance to see it, respond, etc... Chicken Patty usually opens a thread there upon setting the challenge at WCG and posts the links back here. That thread would be the best place to make the offer.

Now regarding our TPU prize drawings/setup for this challenge.....

Do you want to take the lead on this and set it up or do you want to defer to a volunteer?

I was "making the offer" here to ake sure you and te captain could see it and copy-paste it into his announcement on the WCG site.

I could take the lead in the prize area, if you think this has any benefit. Who did normally do this? I would like to discuss things a bit with that person in order to make sure everything will go smoothly. Just sent me a PM.

I suggest that we will run the World CEP2 Challenge from 6 october 2013 @ 0:00 UTC until 14 october 2013 @ 0:00 UTC, more or less in paralel to the World Solar Challenge 2013.

It will be a CEP2 runtime challenge, but team members, existing, new, or returning, should be given the option to either run All Projects or CEP2 exclusively. We have seen several discussions going on that address various means of handling more CEP2 work as well as some of the difficulties in doing so. All of these tips (or links) can be included in the OP for the challenge thread when launched.
New/returning members contributing in either format will also enhance our challenge and our WCG performance.

Team prizes:
I think I will add a small PP donation for a lucky draw among the lower 50% of the participating teams, as long as they have a runtime of at least 1 day during the challenge. I will leave it up to their respective captains to decide how to divide the money within their team.

Internal prizes:
We will use the same prize requirements for the TPU prize draws as for the Team prizes. With other words, the minimum is 1 day of runtime.

Looks good! Drop the Cap'n a PM if you're ready for him to open the Challenge @ WCG
